Bug#580759: New upstream preview package

[Giovanni Mascellani]

Hi Vincent.

I'm working on packaging the new upstream release of libwoodstox. Most
of the work is already done and available on the SVN. For your
convenience, I also put a copy here:

http://poisson.phc.unipi.it/~mascellani/unstable/libwoodstox-java_4.1.1-1.dsc

http://poisson.phc.unipi.it/~mascellani/unstable/libwoodstox-java_4.1.1-1_all.deb

Some things still are left: for example, updating debian/copyright.
Moreover, some tests fail at the moment. The preview above is compiled
ignoring tests failures, but I plan to get in touch with the upstream
author to clear out the problem.

Could you try if freecol still compiles and work with the new package?
There is just one caveat: the name of the tarball has changed, because
of some changes in the maven POM files (wstx-lgpl.jar ->
woodstox-core-lgpl.jar). It shouldn't be a big problem, but if you want
I can add a backward compatibility link.

Would you mind if I added myself as Uploader for libwoodstox-java?

Thanks, Giovanni.
